On July 1 at around 5 p.m. Estevan RCMP traffic unit stopped a vehicle for speeding near Lampman, after it was clocked at 124 km/h in a 90 km/h zone.

The man driving the car showed signs of alcohol consumption, and gave a name, but was unable to provide a matching date of birth. With an officer feeling the driver had given a false name, he was arrested for obstruction and given a roadside screening device test, which he failed.

The man — who had been released earlier that day after being detained for public intoxication and other charges — then gave breath samples at a police station in Estevan, which read below the legal limit.

He was subsequently charged with obstructing a police officer by providing a false name, failing to comply with a probation order and failing to comply with an undertaking. The man was slated to appear at Weyburn Provincial Court on July 4.
